I am trying to bulk and cut down belly fat at the same time for abs. I am lifting heavy at the gym if that helps. The way I have my macros setup looks like this.
Calorie intake - 2754
Carbohydrates - 52% 361g
Protein - 25% 170g
Fat - 23% 70g
Am I looking like I'm on the right path now?
You can't really bulk and cut at the same time... recomp?1 -

you need to re-examine your goals...if you bulk you are not going to cut down on belly fat...best case scenario you gain two pounds a month and one pound of that is fat and the other is muscle...
you can run a recomp where you lose some body fat and gain some muscle...but that involves eating at maintenance for about six months...1 -
Protein bar, egg whites, loads of egg whites to be exact, meat specially chicken breast, and sometimes if needs be a protein shake too, and I am almost always over my protein needs. not 170 grams, but 135-140.0
